The crucial role played by statistical mechanics in Einstein's work on quantum theory has been repeatedly stressed. Nevertheless, in this paper we argue that Einstein's attitude to Boltzmann's principle was more complex than is usually understood. In fact, there are significant differences and nuances that in our opinion have yet to be sufficiently considered, in the various interpretations and uses Einstein made of this principle in his work on quantum theory, more specifically between 1905 and the First Solvay Conference, in 1911.
统计力学在爱因斯坦的量子理论研究中所起的关键作用已被反复强调。然而，在本文中我们认为，爱因斯坦对玻尔兹曼原理的态度比通常理解的更为复杂。事实上，在爱因斯坦于1905年至1911年第一届索尔维会议期间关于量子理论的研究工作中，他对这一原理的各种解释和运用存在显著差异和细微差别，而我们认为这些差异和细微差别尚未得到充分考量。
